Product Description:
The world's most famous super-heroine has excited and inspired readers and fans for nearly 70 years, and now, the entire story of her creation and her legacy is revealed. Internationally renowned Wonder Woman expert and best-selling author Andy Mangels presents an in-depth guide to the history of Wonder Woman, starting with her 1940s Golden Age fantasy, politics, and controversies, as well as an intimate look at her creators, William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter. Charting the romantic 1950s and the 1960s "mod era" Diana Prince, Wonder Woman's resurgence and development for television and animation are examined in-depth, with special interviews with Lynda Carter and cast and crew of the top-rated TV series. The effect of the Amazing Amazon on the women's movement is explored, from women's lib to an exploration of the little-known philanthropic organization, the Wonder Woman Foundation. A modern-day look at the relaunch of the series in the 1980s spotlights creators such as George Pérez, John Byrne, Brian Bolland, Phil Jimenez, Greg Rucka, Allan Heinberg, Terry Dodson, Gail Simone, and Adam Hughes, while an in-depth look at the long development of the Wonder Woman feature film reveals a Paradise Island full of surprises! In addition to nearly a hundred interviews, Andy Mangels will open the vaults of his Wonder Woman Museum to showcase rare collectibles, and hundreds of pieces of unpublished comic book art and commissions! Great Hera, this book will leave you spinning with excitement! Cover by Alex Ross!
